Clippers expected to be extremely shorthanded vs. Pistons tonight

Kawhi Leonard will miss his third straight game for the Los Angeles Clippers as they are preparing to face Detroit Wednesday night.

Leonard will be unavailable again due to a sore right foot. At the top of that, the team will be missing three more starters, including All-Star Paul George along with Serge Ibaka and Patrick Beverley.

Ibaka has not played in the last 15 games because of a back issue, while Patrick Beverley is out with a hand injury. The Clippers have one road game left on their Eastern Conference trip, and it’s against the mighty Philadelphia 76ers.

This will be the second night of back-to-back for Ty Lue’s team, which is on a six-game winning streak after Tuesday’s victory over Indiana.
